The Wilwood DynaLite caliper comes with npt bleeder adapter fittings. Those fittings also have pre applied thread sealant on them. That being said, it's not terribly uncommon to find the npt thread to be less than tight....From experience if not sure how tight is tight the torque of about 11ft lbs is about right.
The DL also has four bleeders however only the upper two are used for bleeding purposes. The lowers being the uppers when you mount it on the other side of the car. You can purchase and install allen head pipe plugs in the lowers substituting for the brass parts for a cleaner look too.
The pads you have are the old Gator pads. Hard to believe that today anyone actually has those let alone ships them....Very aggressive street pad better suited for moderate track use.
For the HR crowd the most common pads are either BP10 or Poly Q.
BP10s are a good all around pad and offer a very flat torque curve with good recovery. Moderate noise and dust levels with such a pad.
The Poly Q (Raybestos Quietstop) are much lower abrasion and do ramp up some with more heat. Lower dust and less noise. Down side is that they are prone to over heating if pushed too hard and then become "splotchy" on the rotor and are more prone to pad build up leading to pulsation problems. Use for cruiser apps only, not really for more spirited minded drivers.
